In his first year at the helm of the Diamond Dawgs in 2017, Cannizaro became just the second first-year head coach in program history to notch a 40-win season and reach the NCAA Super Regional round. It was a historic first year in multiple ways as Cannizaro’s club became the 22nd team in the current 64-team NCAA Tournament format to win a regional after losing the opening game as MSU won four games in two days to claim the Hattiesburg Regional.

With the on-going construction of the Dudy Noble Field and the challenge of playing a season in a half-completed facility,

Cannizaro will have lots of MSU baseball news to share.
